The Harvard Brand
IntroductionThe Harvard brand just commands so much respect. There are so many opportunities available here at Harvard. Whether it be from the distinguished faculty, the opportunity to meet world leaders from across the globe. Just the diversity of the campus and its location is what made Harvard an attractive choice for me.
Campus Life and Social LifeI’m the president here of the black men’s forum, which is an undergraduate organization dedicated to the principals of brotherhood, manhood, and fidelity, and enacting positive change in our communities. The type of events we throw, we have United Against AIDS Summit coming this weekend. In addition we have a celebration of black women. We started a mentorship program in Boston. And on the social ends of things we throw the hottest parties on campus. We just had a paintball challenge two weeks ago. I play basketball for the university; I’m in a rap group. We actually shot a music video. And we opened for Fabulous and Busta Rhyme in our short career.

AcademicsParty scene officially closes on campus at 2am, but we find ways around that. We party til sometimes 3, 4 am in the morning. It really is sometimes like a music video. You see people dancing on tables, enjoying themselves, and then there’s the other side, there’s room parties and drinking and things of that nature so it’s a lot of fun. It’s not easy to party in dorms.
Student BodyThe dorms are very, very nice and accommodating. I live in Adams house and arguably it’s the best dorm on campus, due to the amenities and its location, I’m pretty spoiled, I enjoy it. I have my own room, my own bathroom, a great community and right in the center close to all my classes.
